Sioux Falls, SD – The Globe University massage therapy department is joining Sioux Falls and greater South Dakota massage therapists to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for the most massages given at once. The event is May 7 in conjunction with the Avera Race Against Breast Cancer at the Avera McKennan Fitness Center in Sioux Falls. Massages begin at 9:30 a.m.

The current record is 268 massages; Globe University hopes to give more than 300. The campus’s massage therapy students and faculty plus massage students from other Globe University and Minnesota School of Business campuses in Minnesota and Wisconsin will participate.
